Where learning the Thai alphabet is concerned, regardless of whether you've tried and been unsuccessful, or never even looked at it, you're in for a treat:
How simple an idea in Memory Aids!!
Brock Estes, Richmond, VA, 15th September 2013)
Why? Let me explain...
Think of the last birthday party or happy event you went to. What do you see? Perhaps you see the pictures of the event, your friends, and your family even; and, can see the room, the people, where they are, what they were wearing, saying, etc.
I'm sure you do, because that's what everyone does. Every time you try and think of, or try to recall, something from your memory, your brain tries to locate it. When it finds it, it conjures up a picture - that's how the human brain works; and, is how we designed
Memory Aids to Your Great Adventure (MATYGA)
- in pictures.
These simple, easy to remember pictures encompass everything you need to know about the Thai alphabet. If you're trying to learn the consonants, the picture that has everything in it that you need to know: the sound (or sounds - some Thai consonants make more than one sound) and the consonant class (High, Middle, or Low Class) - that's it. If you're trying to learn the vowels it's even easier as they only make one sound and they don't have any class (they're still cool, but only consonants have classes).
"Well, I agree that your app and those posts are like a speed-of-light catalyst in terms of teaching one the Thai script and reading it within literally two days (in my experience) which I find extraordinary."

If interactive learning is your thing, then check out our web (or iPad) app at www.learnthaialphabet.com. Based on MATYGA, it but offers interactivity, tests, sounds by native speakers, and much more. It takes the book to a whole new level.
Continuing your
Quest
from Vol I (LTYGA), our entire system with simplicity and ease in mind.
Yes, Vol II is part of a series, but it is also a standalone book - you don't need the other books to learn the Thai alphabet. This book will get you up to speed in literally no time at all.
"... already I have achieved more than I would have thought possible in such a short space of time.
I decided to study the Middle and High class consonants first... then the Low class consonants. I then followed the same pattern with the vowels... Suddenly I was looking at Thai writing and beginning to see words forming ... fantastic!! This has been a brilliant start for me Russ ... Your colour code and picture aids make learning so much easier ..."
